Sorry, how do I do that? Should I just remove the picture all together?*confused*
Don't worry about asking things - happy to help
When you post a pic, you know how you post with these tags (without the spaces): [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] ? When you quote a post with a pic in it, you'll see the tags again on the window you write a comment in. All you do is delete the IMG, /IMG and type URL, /URL in the square brackets It'll leave the link for anyone who wants to find the pic, but not eat bandwidth.
EDIT: because Neelan explains it better than me and I wrote HTML instead of URL in a fit of madness.

[QUOTE=Neelan_Liquor;7667310]No problem. In the text of your post, inside the
part, the picture will show up as
[IMG] http: // bogus web address here . jpg [/IMG] (without the spaces)
and you just remove the IMG text and replace it with URL instead.
Here, practice it with this image:
I hope I understood you correctly and this is how it's suppose to look.
YEA!!!! *high fives Ziggy* That was perfect!!!
Now we just gotta get you set up with a PhotoBucket account and some pretty Dex screen caps!
What other threads are you visiting so far?
Ohh... one more tip. The signature. First off, BRAVO on already having one Secondly, you need to try to keep it below 700 megapixles wide OR 200 megapixels tall. Right now, with the addition of the Danny and Dex avatars, you're violating that one and it'll show up EVERYWHERE you post, so see if you can put the "To [DannyAvatar] & [DexAvatar]" NEXT to the hugs and kisses part (and use & instead of "and")... you should be okay then.
Is this a little better? Leave it to the newbie to start posting without reading the rules first. LOL Thanks for all the help. It's nice to know there are helpful and friendly people around.

MUCH! And it still looks fabulous!
Of course the newbie makes the "newbie mistakes" That's why they're "newbie mistakes" *huge grin* Most of us didn't read the rules. There are too many.
And I see you have an image shack account, so I guess you won't be needing PhotoBucket
Don't worry. We'll keep you on the straight and narrow... unless there's a PG line nearby. Then we'll demolish it and lead you crooked and wide.

Thanks for understanding. Actually, I don't have a image shack account. I just use them from time to time. How can you tell I use image shack for my signature? Thought those things were private and I know they don't show up in the reply/quote?

Ah the magic of the "right click" If you "right click" on any image, you get an option for "properties" and you can see from the URL of the image where it's being hosted. I R Smart. Here. Right click on this:
You'll be able to see exactly where in my PhotoBucket account I have this one, because of the URL. When you see 'WolfCub', that's the name of my Dex clone. Almost all of his pix are in that subfolder.

*laughs* There was absolutely NOTHING random about that one!!! *points up*
D'oh! *slaps forehead* Yes, you are very smart and clearly I'm not as computer literate as I should be. Time for some computer classes I think. Hehehe!

Most of what I learned about image hosting and mouse usage over pictures was learned here. You'll do fine!
